On April 10, 2010, Raquel Nelson lost her 4-year-old son.
Nelson was crossing a busy Marietta, Georgia, street with her son and
his two siblings when they were struck by a hit-and-run driver. Police
were able to track down the driver, Jerry Guy, who later admitted he
had been drinking and had taken painkillers the night of the accident.
He was also mostly blind in one eye. Guy had already been convicted of
two prior hit-and-runs. He pleaded guilty, served six months of his
five-year sentence, and was released last October.

If it ended there, this story would merely be tragic. But it gets worse.
